We have democratic institutions such as contested elections, freedom of expression, institutional separation of powers, and independent courts. However,when governments face dissent, these institutions fail to have any limiting effect on torture. A significant extent this was a matter of authoritarian regime, use its power to stop dissent, stop people from helping the downtrodden and marginalised people across the nation and to instill fear in minds of people.

Human rights, secular and progressive thinkers are silenced or labeled as anti nationals, in worse cases hindu fascist forces take the path to assassin those who raise their voice against injustice & violence, this is the most undemocratic times in the history of Indian Politics and reason of worry for every Indian. he concluded urging voice of Dissent and Human Rights has to be upheld.
